Glossary

TOPI	“Target Office of Primary Interest”, the unit within NSA tasked to process the collected interceptions.
Selector	A communications identifier, in this case a phone number, used to select communications for interception.
Subscriber_ID	This is an identifier describing the owner of the provided phone number.
Information_Need	“Information Needs” (IN) are collection requirements devised as part of the National SIGINT Requirement Process and generally produced by analysts in a broad format (e.g. understanding French economic intentions) and used to produce responses to demands of U.S. policy makers. INs rarely expire, so despite having the original creation date included in the identifier (e.g. “2002-388*”), they are renewed and they perpetuate over the time.
TOPI_Add_Date	Date of tagging of the entry with the responsible TOPI.
Priority	Collection priority, the lower the number, the higher the priority.
IN_Explainer	This is a brief and generally broad description of the relevant IN.
